for all of that $600 isn't bad at all. & yes they pull pretty well they were the most noticable single mod that i did, hands down, on my last gt. i can't wait to get my new ones installed, hopefully very soon

Yeah, they pull nice. Not as nice as the 3.73's on my 5.0, but they really wake the car up. But I would ditch the chip and get the Speed Cal. I just put one on. You can adjust it if you ever get new tires or gears or a trans or anything else that may change the speedometer.

I'd get speedcal but I have an auto....Plus the SCT chip has great reviews and I've heard mod depot are awesome at tuning these things. I dont think id get any other.

4.10's. Just do it.

And how are the 3.73's on the 5.0 nicer?

I regret not getting 4.10's. Just do it. Unless a vast majority of your driving is freway and you drive like a bat out of hell on it, get 4.10's

I would not have swapped gears had I not had to have the carrier bearing changed. Since I was going into the differential I went ahead and had the gears done too. I know what you mean though. $600 bucks is alot of cash to replace good parts. Maybe keep the old gears and resell them.

Finally slapped in some 4.10s. I can't believe anyone would go anything lower (except w/ a blower). Guess I'm in the minority, but I feel like even 4.10s just aren't enough. I was expecting even more pull than what I got. I would almost recommend 4.30 or even 4.56. Only downside would be the highway rpm.. although cruising at 3000rpms on the highway is nowhere near as bad as what I thought it would be.
